“Hypervigilant lesbian interacts with a series of terrible, haunted men and gets saved physically and emotionally by a small, cute, rainbows and puppies bisexual” (the last word got cut off in recording)
Teenage Bounty Hunters is one of those series whose cancellation has hurt me a lot, it has a lot of potential that Netflix threw to the brink😓 but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's enjoyable every time it's revisited.
And obviously the most important thing. The relationship between Sterling and April (ohhh Lord).
So I took a couple of weeks to make a fanvid, starting with finding the right song to give it that freshness (and it took a while to find it), I have to admit I enjoyed editing it a lot.
The SW-style transitions are in honour of our lesbian warsie :3 😏😏
Without further ado, enjoy it as much as I do and…
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Teenage Bounty Hunters and STEPRIL 4EVER!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

I would like to record these two images here. One I found in my old cell phone salvos and these more recent ones from the bastidos.
I think now I understand why I have a crush on Sarah. She reminds me of Devon. The actress who plays April Stevens in Teenager Bount Hunter. I'm sad that Teenager Bount Hunter was canceled in its first season with no chance of showing its story potential or its cast. I hope that doesn't happen with First Kill.
I've seen some meta to the effect that Ricken is being set up as a sort of foil to Kier Egan. Kier's family is trying to turn him into a patriarchal god through the worship of his Lumon manual, a mix of religious commands for submission and advice for feeling contented at work, while Ricken has a league of sycophants ready to hear out his vanity projects and discuss his book at a moment's notice.
But what I've been thinking about is what Devon sees in Ricken, as well as what makes his book not just compelling to the Innies, but deprogramming. And of course, it's the fact that what Ricken lacks in humility, or accuracy, he makes up for in his ability to explain basic things about the world to someone who has no experience of it.
He also does seem to have his heart in the right place at times. He does care about Mark and wants to reconcile with him, he is scared of becoming like his own father, and even in his public reading he tries to put his focus on Eleanor, even when his "friends" are unwilling to engage with her existence.
To Mark and Dylan, reading Ricken's basic anti-establishment, vaguely pro-labor rhetoric is like a crash course in every human sentiment that led to this book existing. Believe in yourself, your job isn't everything, sometimes the world around you is unfair and wrong. These are huge to what are essentially, sheltered children living in a strict orphanage. The absent idealized patriarch of Kier, versus the flawed, compassionate, teacher in Ricken.
So maybe Devon chose Ricken because, for better or worse, and right or wrong, he seemed like he would make a good dad.
